juergen teller – all around




i like fashion but sometimes those guys are a bit out of it.
was checking some magazines at the store today ( can’t remember the mag) and there were actually three ads shot by photographer juergen teller back to back… i mean i love mister teller’s work but he has this particular touch that makes him the bad client to shoot several campaigns the same season… so celine, vivienne westwood and marc jacobs one after the other is stupid but if on top of that you ad that they’re all using a white frame then it’s really to much!
couldn’t find the correct ads to illustrate the post but seriously… by pp.

dan tobin smith – perspectival studies




well… i don’t know exactly what it is, but i am intrigued by the name perpsectival study and its author the still life photographer dan tobin smith (and the name of the retoucher but i guess nobody care about that). the bookshelves in the background remind me of the great bernard pivot’s literary tv show “apostrophes”… it’s an insider reference for french people. anyway, i think it is really nice and that definitely deserve a post. by pp.

Who’s got the crack?

hailing from NYC, the moldy peaches, in one form or another recorded some great music in the early/mid 2000’s. inspiring the strokes to pete doherty no less, they are worth a listen if you have not heard them. enjoy. by mc

Blackout on blogspot – blog removed and inaccessible for over 5 days

so what happened to tomorrow started for the past five days? have you ever seen orson welles’ film, the trial? if not go watch it. to be fair, it could have been much worse if it wasn’t for nighcruiser, the person that actually helped us get it back. here’s how it happened…

imagine you go to your blog one day, and it’s gone. all gone. can’t access. can’t log in. just taken away by the big brother that google has now become. who do you talk to? there is no one. you have to post a complaint and wait. at least nighcruiser came to our rescue, and restored it within 5 days. now that’s rather amazing considering how large blogspot/google is. turns out, we were inaccurately slapped as a spam blog by “bloggers robots”. blogger admits (see image below) that:

“…your blog is probably not a spam blog. automated spam detection is inherently fuzzy (no shit) and we sincerely apologize for this false positive.”

one down. now we still haven’t been able to remove our “content warning tag” which again must have been placed not by the “blogger’s robots” but by the pope himself. this tag is not only annoying and misplaced on such a blog as ours, it has somehow stopped our posts to pop up in google searches. looks like we’ll be moving to a more liberal, like minded, space in the very near future. disappointed at google and blogger but we do thank mister nighcruiser for saving us from a potentially bigger nightmare. by ts-staff
